                <li><div><h1>Ultimate Crowdsourcing: Crowd<i>streaming</i></h1><p>Don't just rely on the crowd to provide content&mdash;rely
                on the crowd to give you content and then to give structure and meaning to that content.</p></div> </li>

                            <li><div><h1>No Spam</h1><p>Ok, it's not that there won't be spam, it's that your
                            crowd will be able to classify it as such and thus get it out of the way.</p></div></li> 
                            <li><div><h1>Temperature overlays</h1><p>A way of rating your agreement with the handling
                            of a complex subject can be done on a node-by-node (or branch by branch) basis, creating
                            a temperature map with shades of green (agree) and red (disagree) and white (neutral).
                            Anybody can easily sign off in a complex way to a complex handling of a complex issue,
                            because you can now both "agree" and "disagree" in a nuanced way.</p></div></li> 
                            <li><div><h1>Handle once</h1><p>Instead of countless repetitions of the handling of the
                            same socio-political issues over and over again in the public dialogue
                            using linear communication, change the focus of communication
                            for complex issues. One mind map will suffice to get all the viewpoints in, then it is "done" except
                            for tweaks from new people and updates to real life changes.</p><p>Then what do you do with the
                            map? You <b>use it to solve problems!</b></p></div></li>
